St. Petersburg, Florida: Downtown’s Restaurant Renaissance

Taste downtown St. Petersburg’s culinary revival at these area hot spots, located within a delightfully walkable landscape

In recent years, downtown St. Petersburg has resurged, with an expanding art scene and an influx of residents and visitors. Talented chefs have moved in too, launching restaurants that reflect their unique styles and a passion to create distinct spaces locals love to gather in.

Stillwaters Tavern

The menu mixes global influences with traditional “comfort foods,” especially in dinner specials such as chicken and waffles or duck pot pie. Lunch shows off local specialties including Gulf of Mexico fish ’n chips and a Cuban sandwich layered with mojo pork. Bonus: Stillwaters partners with local farmers and its patio grants an eyeful of tony Beach Drive.

The harvests of local farmers and fishers inform the menu at Stillwaters Tavern.
